Apollo's Fire Presents VESPERS OF 1610, Now thru 11/7

The exoticism of the East meets the structure of the West in this masterpiece. When AF introduced it to Northeast Ohio, THE PLAIN DEALER called it "the smash hit of the classical music season." Sorrell's interpretation has won international praise thanks to the European release of AF's CD recording, which debuted on the Billboard Classical Top 10 Chart. A national tour follows local concerts. Sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the E. Nakamichi Foundation.

Tickets range from $20-$68 with special rates for students, seniors, and young adults (under 30). Single tickets are available for purchase online at www.apollosfire.org and by phone at (216) 320-0012 or (800) 314-2535. In the Fairlawn location, student tickets are free, underwritten by the GAR Foundation.
